Travis Browne: I’m an Athlete First, Then a Fighter

“I think a lot of people talk about being an athletic heavyweight.
A lot of people talk about being quick, fast, conditioned, all that
kind of stuff. I don’t like talking about it. I like showing people
in the cage. … You can say, ‘I’m the most athletic heavyweight.’ I
don’t care because I’m going to prove you wrong. When we’re in that
cage, I’m going to be quicker, I’m going to be faster and you’re
going to be wondering what the heck just happened and how did the
fight end that quickly. I’m an athlete first. Fighting is something
that I’ve picked up. It’s a skill set that I’ve picked up, but
first I’m an athlete. If you can do something in that cage, I can
do it and I can do it better.”
